Cards interested in Cassel?

[UTBILLSFAN22]

If Arizona is interested in Cassel, I honestly don't understand why they wouldn't entertain the thought of trading for Fitz. Fitz is so much better than Cassel, it's not funny. He's also from there, so it might jump start his career. Make it an NBA type deal where we send Fitz and our #4 to Arizona for their #7.

We pick 8th. Are you saying trade our 4th round pick and Fitz to move up one draft slot?

No, I'm saying our 4th ROUND PICK and Fitz for their 7th ROUND PICK. Nba teams do this all the time. They'll trade a bad contract and a 1st rounder for another teams 2nd rounder. They're basically paying another team to take the contract.

Got you. It's actually not a bad idea considering it would save us 10 million dollars against the cap. The Cardinals would be pretty desperate to make that move. I'd hate to lose a 4th rounder though. We could also restructure his contract and then trade him without having to give up a 4th.

Still think the Cards get a qb in FA. However, if they don't, look for them to make a huge push for Glennon in the second. Glennon best fits what Arians wants to do in Arizona. Just like Barkley is the best fit for Marrone's offense...

Says who? You? LOL! The Barkley apologists making **** up is getting out of control. Almost as bad as the Fitz lovers.

Bills are interested in Cassel as well, CB. Get your facts straight.

Dear lord I hope not.

Ask anyone that knows anything (apparently not you), and they will tell you that Barkley fits Marrone's system to a tee...

Can't believe AZ would be interested in Cassell. I hope they are, if they trade for him just seems improbable that they would spend first pick on a QB as well. Plus they have a lot of money tied up in Kolb to begin with. I could still see Geno gone by 8 though to Jags or Raiders. If both are gone then just think of the talented Defensive players that would be falling to us at 8.

Arizona taking Cassel means Gino Smith or Barkley will fall right into our lap. If Nix passes on both he should be fired.

I would love for Arizona to set their sights on Cassel. That would mainly leave Oakland as a team that could draft a QB ahead of Buffalo, and they would have to decide there is a QB (Geno Smith?) that is not too much of a reach to take at #3.

I know that Cassel will be out there, but there are a few others for them to consider as well. Matt Moore and Jason Campbell in FA. Also, there have been rumors that teams will be looking to trade quarterbacks. Guys like Ryan Mallett, Matt Flynn, and Nick Foles could be on the move. I expect at least one qb needy team, maybe two, to get one of these guys before the draft...

I don't know why we'd restructure him, then deal him. The next team might not want to stretch all that money out; that's probably something best left up to them. Additionally, as much of a cap junkie as I am, not sure how much of a hit we take when we trade him. Polian was saying on Sirius something about unamortized signing bonus being an immediate cap hit to the trading team when a deal is made. So, if that's true, under your scenario we could be worse off if a resturcture was a precursor to a deal. Would be great if someone who knows a little more about the cap than I could clarify.

Arizona picking up Cassel is a best case scenario for Buffalo. That's two teams who probably arent likely to grab a QB in the early rounds, allowing a larger pool or talent for buffalo. Every buffalo fan should be hoping for this to happen. Removing KC and AZ from the market leaves just Cleveland and MAYBE Oakland as possibilities to take a top QB.

Every Buffalo fan should be hoping that they don't take a QB at #8 overall. So if you're suggesting that the Bills will be in a great spot to trade down then I agree with you.
